GAMING MACHINE WITH SLIDE-OUT BUTTON DECK ASSEMBLY AND MANUALLY OPERABLE PUSH-TO-RELEASE LATCH MECHANISM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240038015 titled 'GAMING MACHINE WITH SLIDE-OUT BUTTON DECK ASSEMBLY AND MANUALLY OPERABLE PUSH-TO-RELEASE LATCH MECHANISM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes gaming machines and systems that have a slide-out player interface button deck. This button deck includes a video display and a glass insulator with a capacitive touch screen layer. The button deck is surrounded by a cast flange that is slidably attached and interlocked with the button deck. The flange is coupled to first and second drawer slide assemblies. A manually operable push-to-release latch mechanism locks and unlocks the slide-out player interface for movement between a retracted position and an extending position relative to a gaming support structure.

  • The patent application describes a gaming machine with a slide-out player interface button deck.

  • Interactive displays and interfaces for gaming consoles and devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a convenient and user-friendly interface for gaming machines.
  • Allows for easy access to the player interface without obstructing the gaming support structure.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience with a slide-out player interface.
  • Improved accessibility and convenience for players.
  • Sleek and compact design that does not interfere with the gaming support structure.


Original Abstract Submitted

gaming machines and systems include a slide-out player interface button deck including a video display and a glass insulator provided with a capacitive touch screen layer overlying the video display. a cast flange surrounds at least a portion of the button deck and is slidably attached and interlocked with the button deck via mating projections and openings. first and second drawer slide assemblies are coupled to the flange and a manually operable push-to release latch mechanism locks and unlocks the slide-out player interface for movement between a retracted position and an extending position relative to a gaming support structure.
